31 Stunning Photos of Sunday's Supermoon Eclipse

On Sunday night, people around the world witnessed an astronomical event that has only occurred five times since 1900: a rare total super harvest moon eclipse. The Moon was full, as near to us as it gets, and perfectly aligned with the Earth and Sun. The result was a giant, full Moon that appeared orange, rust, crimson, or red, the likes of which won't be seen again until 2033.

We've rounded up some of the best photos from last night's celestial event.

Even before the eclipse, the glowing supermoon provided plenty of photo ops:
